KTM gave a big reason to its fans to rejoice by introducing the big daddy 1390 Super Duke R in India. It’s the Austrian brand’s flagship naked street bike and is globally revered for its profoundly hooligan character.

This is the successor to the 1290 Super Duke and was launched in overseas markets in 2023. The main talking point of the motorcycle is its 1,350cc, LC8, V-twin engine that produces a whopping 190bhp. This motor received a host of updates in 2023, including a new camshaft, redesigned airbox, and new throttle bodies with an increased inlet diameter. This engine clings on to the old tubular steel frame but KTM tweaked the sub-frame last year and made it smaller.

Riding on 17-inch wheels with Michelin Power GP tyres, the 1390 Super Duke R is suspended by WP semi-active suspension with as many as five modes. Braking, meanwhile, is handled by Brembo Stylema callipers with a multi-click system master cylinder. The fuel tank capacity stands at 17.5 litres, while the weight (without fuel) is 200.5kg. That makes the power-to-weight ratio close to 1:1

Typical of a KTM, it gets a host of electronic aids with the package comprising riding modes, lean-sensitive traction control system, TPMS, and more. There’s also an option to add an advanced anti-wheelie feature, which can be entirely switched off. All of this can be controlled via a Bluetooth-enabled TFT screen. Lastly, KTM tweaked the design of the 1390 Super Duke R in 2023 to make it look more muscular and aggressive besides altering the seating ergonomics to make it more engaging.
